Typed transcription of letter from Hiram Prather to Dr. C. W. Prather on Jan. 20, 1865 discusses the involvement of Henry P. and Thomas J. Clay, Henry Clay, Jr.'s sons, in the Civil War. Prather writes he fought in General McCook's division alongside Henry Clay who was under General Johnson. Henry died during the war. Prather refers incorrectly to Thomas J. Clay, as James B. Clay. Prather writes that Thomas Clay fought for the Confederacy under General Buckner and also died during the war.
